That's what it's all about Cheers Craig

Very nice intro. You'll enjoy it here. I'm in the same boat as you with posting pic's Thanks for the tip Bernie Cheers Craig

Thanks for the update Steve...Thought I might see some brave (?) souls out there closer to your marina mouth. Cheers Craig

Weird for sure. Bright sunny sky here in Niagara area. Wind is up, but no snow at all. Cheers Craig

Thx all Clamp-it.....thanks for the reminder. One thing I didn't have on the list. Cheers Craig

Well Just loaded up the snowmobiles and truck and ready to head to Nip for a few dats with a group of 10 from work. I even took a photo to post of the rig all ready to leave, however after trying to post it a few times unsucessfully my blood pressure spiked. I gently placed the computer monitor back down on the desk and grabbed a cold drink. My wife said the blood vessel on the right temple is almost back to normal now. I hope the driving conditions are a bit better tomorrow as I hear they are pretty crappy in some places right now. I will take photos on the trip and God willing I will figure out how to post them upon my return. As you can likely tell I'm no computer wizzard, but I never figured it would be that frustrating. hahahahah Take care all and I hope to have a good report for ya in a few days. PS...I've seen the posts about the truck going through on Nip. I won't be going venturing anywhere that our operator tells us isn't safe. Ok...Going to try the tip Bernie gave on another post for photo posting Thanks Bernie all ready to roll with the report now when I get back Cheers Craig

Can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning. Very nice on-ice accomodations you have there. Looks pretty comfy. Cheers Craig

Thanks Steve Appreciate it. Headed to Nip. Monday-Wednesday, But maybe see you next weekend Cheers Craig

Thx for the update Fishmaster Looking forward to getting back there Cheers Craig

Congrats Bernie One of the few true gentlemen sports left. Sounds like you had a great time. Now you just have to skip your own team so that you can do away with the sweeping. lol Cheers Craig

Hey Steve... I got out at your place Saturday morning. Had a great time. Landed a 10lb rainbow but missed out on the eyes. How is the ice looking for Monday morning. Cheers Craig

Hey Steve How did the ice hold up today with all the heavy snow. Will be out to see you in the morning Cheers Craig

I had also heard that the tower was taken down by the storm. Then I read on another board that the tower was removed the day before the storm by a contractor as planned well before the storm. Cheers Craig

LOL.... I would have pitched it and picked up a new one in the AM.... Cheers Craig

Hi Steve... Just today I heard a Grump and Grumpy's report. They were doing very well for Jumbo Perch on one of their reefs. Not sure what you are targeting, however Jumbo's much better than zeros Cheers Craig

Couple nights of -10 before the snow coming on Friday would certainly help things. May see you in the morning as well Steve Cheers Craig

Lake St. Clair Great variety of species in softwater and a pretty decent hardwater season as well Cheers Craig

Looks like agreat day had by all. Nice day for it Cheers Craig

LOL

Welcome aboard Craig

Good stuff Greg I saw a video report on another board of a school like you mentioned swimming around. The concensus there was that the school of fish were herring. Cheers Craig

Very nice Jen Hope to get out there Friday if this rain doesn't screw things up Cheers Craig

Its a SAMSQUATCH Cheers Craig

mgrieve You can expect to catch pickeral, perch, herring, pike and maybe the odd whitefish. If you are fishing at night you will almost certainly pick up the odd mudpuppy for your efforts. What to use is a matter of persoanl preference. Small jigs and jigheads are popular as are jigging spoon in various colors, shapes and sizes. Most people tip their bait of choice with a minnow, especially during the slower mid-day stretches. If the weather permits, don't be afraid to ask your operator to punch you a few holes outside away from your hut. You would be amazed what gets dropped down some of those inside holes after a couple of weeks on the same spot. Cheers and good luck Look forward to the report. Craig

Of the grocery store or fish market choices, Mahi Mahi (Dorado) is very nice as is Kingfish (King Mackerel) Baked sole pretty hard to beat for mild flavour as well. Cheers Craig
